I don't have the file but you can search for mygica atv495max original firmware over the internet, that's how I found it in the new zealand mygica website but the link was replaced by the buggy 9 firmware instead.

I have the original file because I downloaded it for incase. When I got the box I wanted netflix so i downloaded the patch firmware. And also the 7.1 firmware. But I am unable to get it into the tool. I get create workflow xml file failed. Very frustrating as I tried the version 9 which screwed up my ATV495X. I will gladly upload the 7.1 firware somewhere for other members but i'm failing to get it to work

TO ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME! CAN HAVE SUPPORT FROM MYGICA. TRIED ALL WAYS POSSIBLE!
I have bought a MyGica 
iGrabber USB Video Capture for MAC. I can't install the software due to compatibility with my OS Version (Software for Mac OS Big Sur V11.4 (20F71)). Is there any update, hack, suggestion or any other way to be able to use it?
